ticus can not be controlled with the benzodiazepine and at least one antiepileptic drug treatments, it is defined as refractory status epilepticus. Propofol, which is a drug
that may be used for the treatment of refractory status epilepticus. We present a 28-year-old male with refractory status epilepticus who experienced a color change
